"You can save your goodbyes for yourself." Curtis didn't want to waste any more time with her, so he immediately hung up the phone.…Tammy, who was at her high-rise villa, angrily smashed her phone.How could Curtis treat her in such a manner?Since he was treating her like that, she would repay him.…Curtis finally returned to his room after working in the study until 9:00 pm. He went straight to the master bedroom and pushed the door open.Margot didn't lock him out, much to his surprise.Curtis confidently strode into the room.Margot was sprawled out on the bed, holding her phone and answering some practice questions.When she saw Curtis walking in his loungewear, she sat up and looked at him. "What are you doing here?"Curtis' lips lifted into a beguiling smile, and his voice carried a seductive tone as he said, "Let's pick up where we left off."He stood by the bed and began to undo the buttons on his loungewear.Margot was caught off guard by his actions and nervo
That afternoon, Curtis' car pulled up to the entrance of Crestwood University on time.Margot got into the car with her cheeks flushed. She dared not look at him, so she opened the car window and kept gazing outside.Curtis looked at her and asked, "What's the matter?""It's nothing. I just wanted to get some fresh air.""Look at me." Curtis tugged at her.Margot reluctantly turned to face him.As she studied Curtis' handsome and compelling face and his seductively prominent Adam's apple, a scene from the movie she had just watched with her roommates in the dormitory flashed into her mind.She suddenly felt parched and gulped. She even felt her heart racing."Margot, are you alright?"Curtis noticed Margot looked flushed, so he reached out and pinched her cheek.Margot shook her head, swallowed hard, and hurriedly shifted her gaze."I'm fine. What could possibly be wrong with me?""But your face is flushed.""It's because it's too hot.""Isn't the car's air conditioning t
Wendy hurriedly walked toward the household staff's room.Margot withdrew her gaze and noticed Curtis was also looking at Wendy. She suddenly felt a bit annoyed. "Does she look good?"Curtis had just shifted his gaze away from Wendy when he looked at Margot and frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about?""You can cut the act. You were obviously looking at her."Curtis admitted to it. "I did look at her, but I've already forgotten what she looked like."He held her hand and led her upstairs.Margot angrily pulled her hand away."Are all men really into that kind of sexy figure?"Curtis was somewhat bemused as he looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling jealous?"Margot furrowed her brows, feeling a bit puzzled. "What do you mean by 'jealous'? I'm asking you a question here!""I don't know about other men, but the only one I like is you." He wrapped his arm around her as they walked upstairs.Margot pursed her lips, finding it a bit hard to believe.Curtis saw her do
Margot received a kiss so intense that it left her breathless. She immediately blushed and used her hand to push Curtis away. "Curtis, please don't do this."Curtis moved to kiss her neck. His voice was low and seductive as he asked, "What do you mean?" "I'm just having trouble sleeping, so I came to talk to you. Please stop touching me."A playful smirk played on Curtis' lips as he teased her, "You really don't want me to touch you?"Although she liked him very much, she still pretended to be reserved.Didn't he already know what kind of person she was?"Then, are you really going to treat me well all the time?"Margot felt a bit insecure. In her opinion, Curtis was an outstanding man, and she felt unworthy of him.Fearful that she might lose everything despite giving him her all and loving him wholeheartedly, she hesitated.Building upon Tammy's previous statements, despite lacking the means to verify the truth, she, at the very least, was confident that the tragedy had occ
Whenever Curtis was in a good mood, he would always be gentle and patient with Margot.When he had time before heading to the office, he would help her wash up, change clothes, and even put on her shoes.In any case, he pampered her as if she couldn't take care of herself.Having recently placed her complete trust in him, Margot experienced a heightened sense of security and happiness within her heart.After dropping off Margot at the entrance of the university, Curtis hurried off to the company.Margot glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon.As she approached the entrance, she suddenly saw the new occupant of her former dormitory room getting out of a black car that had just parked nearby.Initially, it wasn't a big deal. However, Margot accidentally caught sight of the man behind the wheel of the black car, and he seemed somewhat familiar.She quickly hid behind the large tree before her, tilted her head, and carefully scrutinized the man in the car.She was sho
That afternoon, Curtis arrived punctually at the university to pick up Margot.Margot was greeted with a bouquet of sunflowers when she entered the car. They were particularly vivid and beautiful.She accepted the bouquet and looked at Curtis with a smile. "Are these for me?"Curtis hummed in acknowledgment. "You're actually quite romantic."Seated beside him, Margot held the flowers and took a deep breath, savoring their delightful fragrance.Curtis pulled her into his arms and habitually kissed her on the forehead.Margot didn't refuse the gesture. She took out her phone and took pictures of the flowers, then took a selfie.After taking the pictures, she put away her phone and asked Curtis, "Curtis, can I ask you something?""Sure, go ahead."Curtis gazed intently at her. The woman before him was just like the bouquet of flowers in her arms, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away.Or perhaps he was afraid that if he looked away, she would suddenly disappear.
Despite Natalie's smile, the pain in her eyes was unmistakable and couldn't be concealed. "What could possibly be wrong with me? Don't worry, I'm fine.""But you were crying just now."Margot wondered if Gabriel really cheated on Natalie. However, it seemed impossible.Margot couldn't reconcile the image of Gabriel, a well-dressed and refined man, with the idea that he would engage in something immoral. She considered the possibility that she might be overly paranoid."I just miss my child a little bit." Natalie's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Natalie lowered her head, trying hard to conceal the pain, but she just couldn't hide it.Margot immediately asked, "Where's your son? Did something happen to him?" Natalie shook her head and said, "He's with his grandparents.""Why don't you visit him and bring him back to live with you?""They wouldn't let me."As she thought about how her in-laws had always kept her child away from her ever since she had handed him over to
Tammy was worried that Curtis might think she was pretending, so she slashed her own neck with the fruit knife. The sharp blade glistened with fresh blood, its vivid red hue a captivating and unsettling sight.Curtis immediately raised his hand and said, "Tammy, calm down! Let's go out and have a talk, okay?"If Margot were to return and witness this, fear would undoubtedly grip her. Regardless of how he planned to handle Tammy eventually, his immediate priority was to get her out of the house."I won't leave unless you promise me that I can stay by your side.""Alright, since you want to work alongside me, I can place you in the company's secretarial department. How about that?"While speaking, he attempted to reach for the fruit knife in her hand.Tammy had no intention of hurting herself in the first place. When she saw Curtis approaching her, she didn't resist and allowed him to take the knife away.Curtis quickly grabbed a tissue and pressed it against her neck. He then d
Frederick glared at his son, who was looking at him. "What, didn't you hear what I said?"Anthony said in a calm voice, "Got it.""How is she doing now? Where have you arranged for her to be?""Dad, don't worry, she's doing fine," Anthony continued measuring."It better be this way, because if you dare do anything to my people, you're not going to have a good time either."Frederick was stubborn. After eating a bit and losing his appetite, he put the bowls back.Seeing his son moving sluggishly, he couldn't help but impatiently snap at him, "Hurry up and get the prosthetic done for me. I'm only giving you three days. Can you do it?"Anthony put away the tape measure, feeling a bit impatient."Dad, for just three days, you might as well use a walking stick instead of getting a prosthetic. Can my prosthetic even compare to an ordinary one?"Frederick was really frustrated and smacked him on the arm."What kind of prosthetic do you have, and how long does it take?""My prosthet
"I don't understand what you mean. It was clearly your dad who insisted on being with me in the first place."Yasmine was arguing vehemently, staring at Margot with a defiant unwillingness to admit defeat.Margot laughed and said, "My dad lost a leg, and according to him, he was bedridden for a few months before he slowly recovered. How could a crippled man like him force you to do anything?""Anyway, I don't care; it was only because he wanted to do it with me that I went along with it." She continued to cry out, "You are completely heartless, you took away my child, and I will never forgive you for this."Margot was speechless.She had encountered shameless people before, but she had never seen anyone as shameless as this woman.She didn't want to waste time with her because no matter how much she explained, Yasmine would not listen.After a moment of silence, Margot sighed and said, "Take a good rest and take care of yourself. Since you took care of my dad for some time, we w
Margot, in particular, stood up and asked, "How could that be?"Calvin explained, "She said she ate a lot of cold-natured food, and when the kitchen refused to make them for her, she got upset. It's unclear whether she did it on purpose or if she just really wanted to eat those things.""Does Dad know about this?" Curtis asked.Calvin looked at him and said, "How would he know? The two aren't even together.""If Dad finds out, he'll definitely cause trouble for us again," Margot said, as she sat back with Louis.They found it frustrating how their dad seemed like a completely different person."It's fine, even if things get chaotic, it's not like we as his children will end up as enemies."Calvin reassured his sister, "Don't worry about it, we'll take care of this."Margot nodded.However, when she considered everything, she realized that Yasmine had still cared for Frederick for quite some time.She felt it was important for her to go and see how others were doing.That aft
In the coming days, Daniel and Edna stayed at home to take care of Frederick.Calvin and Margot were taking care of Natalie at the maternity center, and they were also looking after Louis.As for Curtis, he had been going back and forth between home and the maternity center.Anthony, apart from being busy with work, had assigned people to keep an eye on all of Yasmine's activities.As soon as he sat down in his office, his assistant came in with a cell phone and reported, "Sir, there's something urgent."Anthony picked up the cell phone.On the other end of the phone, the subordinate reported, "Sir, something bad has happened, that woman had a miscarriage."When Anthony heard this, he quickly stood up and asked, "What's going on?""I have no idea what happened. She just kept eating and eating a lot of stuff, and then soon after she started complaining about stomach pain. When the doctor arrived, they announced she had a miscarriage.""Let me speak to the doctor."At first, he
"Could it be that he misses you and wants to bring you home?"Edna nodded with a smile.Natalie couldn’t help but say, "People in love are like this; they can't stand being apart for a few hours. You should head back quickly."Even though they were a married couple and already had kids.However, they might still be in the honeymoon phase.So Natalie and Margot understood the current situation between Edna and Daniel.Edna bowed her head, feeling quite embarrassed.She lowered her voice and said, "Daniel told me not to leave the room. He's coming to pick me up because it's raining outside."Her eyes were filled with joy and happiness.Margot and Natalie exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, genuinely happy for Edna.Of course, they were also relieved and pleased that Daniel had finally broken through his emotional defenses and genuinely accepted Edna.Daniel arrived half an hour later and brought a coat for Edna.He briefly greeted Natalie, checked on the two children
Louis was very happy to see his mom, sticking close to her all the time and not responding to her uncle's words at all.Margot didn't believe it for a second and left the house while holding Louis.In an instant, he caught sight of Curtis standing next to the wall.She looked at him somewhat resentfully. "What are you playing at with all this mystery? I actually thought Louis was sent by you."Curtis smiled and embraced both mother and child warmly."I wouldn't dare. If I lost the package with Louis inside, you would definitely be furious with me.""If you lose my Louis, I'm going to be really upset with you."Margot, ignoring Curtis, carried Louis into the room.Curtis followed her inside.Looking at Natalie on the bed, he smiled and said, "Congratulations! You got yourselves a pair of kids."Natalie had incredible luck; she ended up having twins, a boy and a girl, which was something that happened very rarely.Natalie responded with a smile, "Thank you, and I heard that on
Considering Frederick's current attitude toward the three brothers, sending the food personally would definitely make him angrier.So it was best for them to steer clear for now.In the dining room, four men were sitting together.Curtis rarely spent time alone with these three men, and it made him inexplicably anxious.He was worried that if he did anything they didn't like, they might "fire" him as their brother-in-law."After you resolved your brainwashing spell, there haven't been any complications, right?" Daniel asked.Curtis looked at him and said, "Not really, I've always been wearing this sachet that my daughter gave me. I've heard from Branden that it's supposed to protect me from brainwashing spells."Actually, that sachet only helped to relieve his headache.It was not to destroy the brainwashing spell.It was actually done by Branden on the sachet, using his special techniques.It was good that it got resolved.Daniel raised his beverage cup and said, "Congratul
Curtis was really taken aback. He had made a special trip from far away to see his father-in-law who had just returned, only to be met with such an unexpected attitude.However, being the junior, there was no choice but to keep smiling and continue on."Mr. Morris Senior, there's no need to get upset. It's not a big deal, and there's no need to have any unpleasantness within the family."Frederick glanced once more at Curtis, reminding himself that this was his daughter's husband, and made an effort to soften his expression."I really didn't want to have a conflict with them, but they insisted on going against me."Curtis stood nearby and cautiously began to speak, "I think you should focus on taking care of your health right now. Once they help you get the prosthetic fitted, and you're able to stand and walk, do you think they'll stop you from doing what you want?"First, Curtis came up with a temporary solution. Once the elder had calmed down over time and understood the challe
Calvin shook his head in exasperation and said, "When it comes to being self-absorbed, no one can compete with you."He asked the little kid in his arms, "Isn't that right, Louis? Are you happy to see your uncle?"Louis had a soft, fair complexion and a very adorable smile.Louis, who was quite smart, looked at Calvin with bright eyes and replied enthusiastically, though not very clearly, "Ha-happy, I feel happy to see uncle."Calvin exclaimed, "Wow, my little nephew is truly smart. You're just over a year old and already know how to respond to me.""You should think about who's the one who gave birth to him.""Heh."Seeing Curtis about to indulge in his narcissism again, Calvin glanced at him and scoffed, "You should consider who this child is born to. Don't forget, this little boy is half from the Morris family."Curtis was speechless.He didn't want to argue with him. He just stepped forward, opened the car door, and got in.Calvin carried the child and got on the bus.Th
